Classes will be conducted remotely for older elementary school children and high school students until the end of the winter break in late February, Education Minister Przemysław Czarnek has announced.
"In practice, this means two weeks of distance learning," Czarnek told reporters earlier this week, amid a resurgence in coronavirus cases.

Poland reported a new record daily rise in coronavirus infections on Thursday, confirming 57,659 new cases, the most since the pandemic hit the country almost two years ago.
The government this week made remote working mandatory for public-sector employees until the end of February as the country enters a fifth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic amid the spread of the omicron variant of the coronavirus.
